Beatrice at Bay is the second Beatrice McIlvaine Adventure, a story that follows the soft-spoken and somewhat telekinetic Beatrice as she grows up in a world of increasingly sophisticated threats. The saga started with Beatrice and the Basilisk, a modern-day fairy tale that resonated unexpectedly with readers young and old. Beatrice was twelve then. She's fifteen now, and facing different challenges: a potential step-father; her own immense but unwelcome powers; the weird kids from the Academy; and-possibly most importantly-the end of the world as we know it. Can Beatrice channel her troubling destructive energies in the service of something greater than herself? Who can she trust at a beautiful school for gifted kids that isn't quite what it seems? And what's with this Lester White Bull kid creeping on her Instagram account, anyway? Clocking in at 25,000 words, a combination of "Stranger Things" and Pippi Longstocking, Beatrice at Bay is a fast, funny, exciting read for anyone with a hard head and a kind heart-kids, that is, between the ages of ten and seventy-four.

"Six poems and a song is anchored by 'The Turning Point, ' a narrative poem about the battle for Guadalcanal in November of 1942. Fusing elements of Homeric and Norse saga with contemporary slang, it's McCandless's attempt to create a uniquely American epic out of one of World War II's most important and brutal campaigns. Also included: poems about baseball and businessmen, and an extended sonnet sequence about lost love, 'A Beginner's Guide to Disappointment.'"--

"Sometimes the enemy walks among us. An ancient curse. An army of the dead. A vengeful spirit that has walked the world since before the time of man. They all come together in Libya in 1805, when a makeshift army of foreign mercenaries and U.S. Marines sets off across North Africa to rescue three hundred American sailors imprisoned by the King of Tripoli. In this haunted land, the Realm of the Hidden, the expedition is soon beset by a series of brutal and mysterious murders -- at first apparently random, but becoming progressively more purposeful and troubling. Private Lemuel Sweet, a young New Englander, chronicles the hardships he and his companions endure on their march west over the sands of the Sahara. Looming ahead of them is the threat of combat in a hostile nation. But worse is the creeping suspicion Sweet feels that one of the men leading the expedition is not what he pretends to be, and that supernatural forces are at work that could mean death for him and his fellow Marines before a single shot is fired. Death...or worse."--
